The 1st Step

Today we went to Jo-ann Fabric to buy cloth. This was our first step in a pillow making project we are doing. It was also a very brief introduction to a measurement unit we will be starting soon, since each child had to buy 1/2 yard of fabric.Some skills we practiced on this trip were:-good shopping etiquette: being patient while waiting in line, using polite language, walking and talking (vs running and shouting)-making decisions (from many options)

-estimating: we tried to estimate what our total bill would be

Our next step is to get out the sewing machine and turn the fabric into pillows.
